Samsung B2100 Mobile Review
nternational travel can be daunting, especially when it comes to telecommunications. GSM phones give you the option of swapping in a SIM card for a network abroad, or jumping to expensive roaming. But North American owners of CDMA phones have fewer options in GSM-dominated locales. The rugged National Geographic Xplorer, aka the Samsung B2100, provides a ready-made solution with its Travel Abroad SIM, an unlocked GSM card that takes incoming calls on both a U.K. and a U.S. number, so family and friends can reach you at little cost wherever you are. However, you will pay the bill for outgoing calls and for incoming calls to the U.S. number from your prepaid balance. At a price of $179, the Xplorer comes with $29 of credit, roughly 30 minutes of calling. While it's not for everyone, the prepaid model certainly is convenient for some people.
